Switch it off

If you don't plan on to use the phone after working hours or when you're having a nap, its better to switch it off. Also, do the same, when you're in an poor network area, as constantly searching for service uses up the battery quickly. Some latest phones have an automatic power saving feature, but it takes time for that feature to get activated. Until then, much battery power gets used. When you need to use phone's non-data functions or when you're in an airplane, use the handy 'Flight Mode' function.

Avoid unnecessary embellishments

Avoid using animated pictures or flash on phone as a background as it will drain the battery faster. Turn off applications like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS when you are not using them and turn them on only when you are actually using it like turn on Wi-Fi only when you're in a Wi-Fi zone, turn on Bluetooth when sharing data only and not keeping unnecessary apps running 24x7 in the background.

Charging cycles

Don't charge your cell phone until the battery meter shows one bar or low battery sign. Unless of course, you are anticipating an important call, which will require a full battery. When your phone is charging, avoid using it, and kill all active processes and let it charge to completion. If you want to charge your phone efficiently and quickly, switch it off and charge.

Disable 4G/3G when not in use
